mount olympus day hike - May 19, 2013
Get in shape for Memorial Day weekend by clambering to the top of Mt Olympus. There are usually (not always) some snow slopes on the ascent, so bring microspikes or yaktrax plus gaiters. If you haven't done Olympus before, you should be aware that the trail is steep with sections of mud and (easy) rock scrambling, but the payoff is spectacular, with unmatched views of the city and the Wasatch. Limit: 9.
